While Nate and Devon mull over that mystery, Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway) will decide it’s time to get clear about the rules.

For starters, Nate and Devon will put their heads together since Lily’s been gone for far too long without any contact.

It’ll leave Devon and Nate fearing something is truly wrong, especially since there’ll presumably be no word from the twins either.

Nate and Devon will discuss their suspicions about what’s really going on here.

Y&R spoilers say Devon and Nate will work on cracking the case, so they may figure out Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) made a bold move for leverage on Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn).

Of course, that plan was derailed thanks to Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson).

Now Phyllis is in charge of the Newman empire, but Cane has been tasked with getting it back to Victor anyway.

Cane will use Daniel Romalotti Jr. (Michael Graziadei) as part of his plan to get through to Phyllis and hopefully end this nightmare for good, but will it really work?

Phyllis is loving the powerful position she’s in, so Daniel and Cane will face quite a challenge.

As for Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), she’ll grow increasingly concerned over what Victor might do next.

The more desperate Victor becomes to regain control of Newman, the more drastic his actions are going to be.

At the park café, Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) will meet with Christine Blair Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) to discuss her upcoming trial.

That’ll give Abby and Dominic Winters (Ethan Ray Clark) a chance to pop up for an awkward encounter.

It looks like Mariah will engage with Dominic briefly and perhaps apologize for taking their giant hide-and-seek game too far.

Abby will keep her guard up throughout this interaction and may privately remind Mariah that she doesn’t want her anywhere near Dominic.

Encounters like this one may be unavoidable, but Abby may warn Mariah not to seek Dominic out or make any effort to reconnect with him.

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Abby will lay down the law, so stay tuned for Mariah’s reaction.
